Mondo Grass
Mondo Grass (Ophiopogon japonicus) is a perennial evergreen grass-like plant hailing from Asia, including Japan, China, and Vietnam, esteemed for its dense, clumping habit and dark green, strap-like leaves. These leaves, typically a few inches to about a foot in height depending on the variety, form a lush carpet-like mat, making it a popular choice for ground cover in gardens and landscapes. In late summer to early fall, delicate violet-purple or pale lilac, bell-shaped flowers may grace its short stems, adding a subtle decorative touch. However, its main allure lies in the appealing foliage, which creates an attractive, dark green backdrop. Mondo Grass thrives in well-drained soil and adapts well to various light conditions, from full sun to partial shade, making it low-maintenance and versatile. It's often utilized for borders, edging, rock gardens, or as an underplanting for taller shrubs and trees, adding an elegant touch to diverse garden settings.
